This is a well-known private middle school in the capital, with strong teachers, and the teaching quality is no worse than the top public middle schools, and the European-style campus is neatly planned.

It is said that those who can come here to study are either with particularly good grades or from particularly good families, and more are children of the urban middle class with good grades and good grades, after all, the annual tuition and living expenses are close to 100,000 yuan, and parents who attach importance to education and have financial strength especially favor such schools.

This tall and modern teaching building is good-looking, but it is extremely unfriendly to road idiots, making Ling Li and the little assistant dizzy. It's easy to find the right place, and it's been ten minutes.

In the office, there are more than a dozen desks connected to each other, and the desktops are all piled up with various books, test papers, and various stationery. A few teachers were sitting at their desks grading homework, and some were cleaning up their desks as if they were getting ready to leave work.

Looking at a room of people, Ling Li was a little dazed, her eyes looked around, and she asked, "Is Teacher Tu here?" ”

A man in his forties by the window raised his face, took off his thick glasses, and nodded to her: "Hello, I am." ”

Teacher Tu's name is Tu Yigang, who teaches Chinese, and is Qu Jia's homeroom teacher back then. Teacher Tu is very polite, but when it comes to Qu Jia, the evaluation is still not very good.

He told Ling Li that Qu Jia was also considered to have average grades when he entered the school that year, but since the first semester of the second year of junior high school, his grades have dropped very much, and he has become the last of the crane in one semester.

At first, he didn't know the reason, and he also went to the parents of the Qu family in private to report the situation, but it had no effect.

Ling Li calculated in her heart that the time when Qu Jia's grades declined was the time period when Qian Liting said that Qu Jia's biological father came to make trouble.

Teacher Tu also said that Qu Jia was not naughty in school, and sat in class in a daze, not noisy, noisy or troublesome. It's just that the time after school is hard to manage. Other children honestly go to self-study, but she is unwilling, and there is the feat of escaping from school over the wall and not returning home at night.

Speaking of this, he paused and sighed, and then said: "We have a semi-military management here, and we are very strict with students in both life and study. Qu Jia is not very well-behaved, and her grades are poor, and later she even played with some gangsters outside the school, drinking, fighting, like a little sister, it is really unorthodox. ”

Hearing that Teacher Tu didn't seem to have a good impression of Qu Jia, Ling Li exchanged glances with the assistant sister paper, and asked, "Aside from the grades, what about Qu Jia's performance in other aspects?" For example, are you kind-hearted and helpful? ”

Teacher Tu didn't seem to hear her question, and continued his complaint: "I also asked her parents to persuade her to quit. However, Qu Jia's father resolutely disagreed, and later found the principal and forcibly left her in my class, which lowered the average score of the whole class by several points during the high school entrance examination. ”

He used his grades to turn students into three, six, nine, etc., which made Ling Li feel uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to put displeasure on his face, and further emphasized the question just now: "In addition, does Qu Jia have any advantages?" ”

Hearing this, Teacher Tu rolled his eyes, and his face showed a trace of impatience: "What advantages can a poor student like her have?" ”

After a pause, there seemed to be some curiosity in his eyes, and his voice was low: "You came this time because Qu Jia killed his daughter this time, right?" What kind of people this is! It has also been said before that she had an abortion in her teens, and she was not at all indecent. Later, it seems that I found some kind of migrant worker......"

Ling Li couldn't listen anymore, and his voice interrupted him coldly: "Teacher Tu, are these words you said worthy of your identity as a teacher?" ”

Her voice was a little loud, and the eyes of five or six people in the office were focused at once.

Tu Yi just glanced at the colleagues who looked around, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and his voice became sharp: "What I said is the truth, Qu Jia is the dregs of society." If you don't fight for yourself, you will harm others and yourself! ”

Ling Li stood up and was about to open his mouth to refute him, but a cold male voice came from behind: "Teacher Tu, you were reported by the parents of the students for being insatiable back then, and it was good to be able to keep your job, and you still came to smear innocent students?" ”

Ling Li turned around when she heard the voice, and what caught her eye was the face of a young man.

This man is in his thirties, with a strong figure but not too tall, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and his temperament is very calm.

Tu Yi was a little scared when he saw someone coming, and he muttered for a long time, and finally said something vaguely in his mouth, "People are doing it, the sky is watching", the table didn't care about tidying up, grabbed the briefcase on the side and fled in embarrassment.

The man looked at him coldly and sent him away, and then stretched out his right hand to Ling Li and smiled slightly: "Hello, I'm Jin Yu." ”

Ling Li hesitantly shook his hand twice, and before he could introduce himself, Jin Yu began to introduce himself: "I used to be Qu Jia's teacher, and I taught Qu Jia English from the first to the second year of junior high school. When she was in her third year of junior high school, I went abroad for a year for personal reasons, and when I came back, Qu Jia had already graduated and had not gone to high school again. If you want to know about Qu Jia's schooling, I can also help. ”

Compared with Tu Yigang, who is still squeezing in the public office in his forties, Jin Yu already has his own office at a young age, and it seems that his career is very smooth.

Ling Li couldn't ask him about his specific position, but he sat on the sofa of the reception, looking at the collective awards and individual awards of various competitions on the wall, and sighed a little in his heart.

The person in front of him seems to be a pillar of society with an elite aura, and the medals and trophies of all sizes from the provincial to the national and even international competitions, since they are placed in his office, must be related to him.

Jin Yu saw the admiration and surprise in her eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The times make heroes, when I graduated with a master's degree and came to teach, I happened to have someone behind me to support me, so I climbed fast." However, I am not ashamed to say that my efforts are worthy of the current situation. ”

His straightforward and upright approach made Ling Li smile with relief, and he couldn't help but feel good.

Jin Yu seemed to have known Ling Li's intention for a long time, and said straight to the point: "As soon as Tu Yi received a call from the doorman just now, he complained a lot in the office. He was very loud, and I happened to be passing by and happened to hear it. He had been taught some lessons because of Qu Jia's affairs, and I expected that you would run away in vain when you found him. ”

Then, Jin Yu talked about some of Tu Yigang's disgraceful things.

Tu Yigang attaches great importance to money, and divides the students in his class into three, six, nine and so on according to his family background. However, he did have some skills in teaching, and since he didn't make any big noise, the school turned a blind eye to his philistine behavior.

However, I don't know where he put the wrong line in his head, because Qu Jia's grades declined, he came to find Qu Linjiang to sing and play in secret, but in fact, there are two words in the center: ask for money.

However, he misexpected Qu Linjiang's character. Qu Linjiang politely sent Tu Yi out one second ago, and the next second he found a vice principal of Qinxi Foreign Chinese Middle School he knew, and fiercely sued Tu Yigang.

For a person like Tu Yigang who is not worthy of being a teacher, Ling Li has no sympathy at all, and he is very happy to hear that he is unlucky.

When Jin Yu said this, he let out a long sigh: "It's just that because the high school entrance examination is about to take place, I am afraid that the change of teacher will affect the class performance, and the school still did not exempt his homeroom teacher after all." Qu Jia is a little girl, who was openly and secretly excluded by the children who were not deeply involved in the world at his instigation, and she was even more sad in school, and she did not do well in the high school entrance examination. ”

He paused, his voice and expression were full of regret: "It's a pity, she was originally very talented in English. ”

Before leaving, Jin Yu took Ling Li's business card and left his business card to Ling Li.

"If you need to prove that Qu Jia's nature is not bad, whether it is to issue a written certificate or testify in court, I am willing to go."

The faint light in his eyes and his determined voice made Ling Li's sullen breath that had accumulated in his heart when he saw all kinds of indifferent people in one day suddenly disappear.

Coming out of the school, the little assistant sister paper lowered her head all the way on the mobile phone screen, and when she arrived at the bus stop, she held up her mobile phone with star eyes, and her face was adoring: "Baidu said, this teacher Jin Yu, master of English education and master of educational psychology of Imperial Capital Normal University, has been a special teacher for less than ten years, and has won countless awards, no wonder he has such a strong aura at a young age." ”

Ling Li glanced at the screen and was also shocked by this bright and blind resume.

The saying that people should not be disfigured seems to make more and more sense in today's society, which is changing dramatically every day, and it is really impossible to judge morality, experience, and status by a person's age.

The assistant sister paper was still immersed in admiration, with a yearning look: "If my teacher was so temperamental and virtuous in middle school, I guess my English would not be a big problem." ”

Ling Li's thoughts had already shifted to Qu Jia's body.

At the critical moment of growing up, Qu Jia first encountered the scoundrel's biological father who came to the door to extort money, and learned that he was not Qu Linjiang's child; Then I met an unscrupulous teacher and was ostracized by my classmates.

Since then, he has embarked on a crooked path, which has led to a series of tragedies since then, and his originally good life has fallen into the mud.

The so-called mourning her misfortune and anger are probably her current mood!

In the next few days, Ling Li visited Qu Jia's neighbors and one or two friends one by one, and also got some positive evidence, which can be regarded as some gains.

However, the case did not go well.

The application for Qu Jia's mental condition evaluation was approved, and the evaluation conclusion came out quickly, but the result was not satisfactory.

When Ling Li got the appraisal results that Qu Jia was in a normal mental state and had full capacity for criminal responsibility at the time of the crime, she was stunned for a long time, and she didn't know what to do next.

Qu Jia's pale and frightening face appeared in front of her again, she was in such an abnormal state, there was no problem? It was so unexpected.

Ling Li pinched the appraisal results, and was confused for a while, and suddenly remembered that Qu Jia had proposed that she wanted a photo of Xiaoyuzi.

She immediately called Qian Liting, but she didn't expect that none of them had a photo of Xiaoyuzi in their hands.

After Ling Li hesitated again and again, she had to contact Zhou Ze and ask for a photo.

Zhou Ze heard that she was Qu Jia's lawyer, and he was unexpectedly not angry, and after listening to her request, he hung up the phone silently, and within a few minutes, an MMS message was sent.

Ling Li clicked on it and saw that it was a chubby little girl, wearing a goose-yellow dress with two pigtails, smiling sweetly at the camera.

After that, Zhou Ze sent a short message to Ling Li's mobile phone: "This is the last photo of Xiaoyuzi." She was killed by her biological mother the afternoon the photo was taken. I regret that I quarreled with Qu Jia that day, and I regret that I didn't have time to say goodbye to Xiaoyuzi when I went out angry. ”

It seemed that something hit the softest corner of Ling Li's heart, causing her defense line to collapse instantly, and she burst into tears in just a few seconds.

It's too late to say goodbye to your dearest......

It turns out that she is not the only one who has such regrets.
